I know I should be careful,
I know this more than most.
For there is nothing more unreliable,
Than conversing with a ghost.

I know I should be wary,
I know this to be true.
For there is nothing more relentless,
Than possession by a ghoul.

I know I should be living,
I know that's what I was.
Yet somehow from all my meddling,
Dead seems to be my current status.

I should have been more careful,
I should have been more wary,
I should have still been living,
Instead of dead from all my daring.
